I wish you a...

...merry X-mas!

May your heart be filled with all the warmth of the sun...

Enjoy your holiday!

Google phone

So if Google is also about to launch a phone ... what's next????

...Google toiletpaper? Google cure for cancer? Google marslander? ...

We the media

This clip shows, in a very "doomsday"- way, how the media is changing. Only one percent of the internet users have a blog, but they seem to be very influential...opinion-leader marketing will be a huge channel. Create the buzz...

For the launch of France 24, the new interactive channel, they invited some famous bloggers (such as rocketboom ) to create the buzz on the blogs. So the blogger start getting pampered like the traditional journalist...is this a good thing?

We were finally getting rid off lazy, over pampered journalist who copied blind fully everything from the press maps and now the same is happening with the bloggers...history repeats itself...

Thx DoubleYou for the link!

Best wishes...NOT!

I don't know if this guy is really the VP Interactive Media of Coca Cola, but if so he should be shot!

Okay, you should embrace tools like YouTube...but not in this way! How stupid and boring can you look...

And to make it worse, they use Renetto to promote their "wishcast" . Renetto is about the most annoying guy on YouTube!

Have a coke and kick the VP guy out!

Cheers

Feathers

Must remember to play more basketball...according to this poster for the new Nike Outlet in Paris, basketball is nowadays played by naked chicks with feathers sticking out of their asses...:-). Nothing wrong with that!

Have a nice one!

Roller Man

So imagine you're a single girl and you meet this nice guy...he asks you out for dinner and he picks you up in his...Roller Man Suite!!!! Suddenly you're dating a guy with rollerskates strapped all over his body...and you're Miss Roller Man..or Roller Woman...

One doesn't mind riding in dogshit with a bike...but with this suite...and going head first...

...and how many rollerskates had to die to make this suite?

Anyway, just to say that I would nominate this as "product of the year"...

Basketball hero

Watch this and feel good! ;-)

Thx bro for the link!

The Last Walz Tour

Been on tour to Cardiff with the lads...this is the "you-can-show-your-girlfriend-and-collegues-version"...:-)

Enjoy the little clip.

Cheers!

Pie Chart

This is one of the best pie charts I have ever seen...;-). Whenever the marketeers are bombarding you with figures and charts, just show them this one...at least you'll have a laugh.

Charts don't say everthing, in many cases it's the gut feeling that matters....

---Line Man---

These days, it's all about lines...this little man is made of a few lines and fights the software. He's breaking out and bending the rules of the computerscreen...

Wonder what would happen if he teams up with linerider... Together they would conquer the world! But...where would they draw the line? Would they cross the line? If they go into marketing, would they extend the line? ;-)

Makes me think of the Italian animation "la linea" by Osvaldo Cavandoli in the seventies. Those episodes with the stuborn white line were hilarious!

Send in a photo of a line that you like...I will post them on the crab blog!

Linerider

Check out LINERIDER !

You draw the line...he rides it!!! The litte man with the red striped scarf has no fear! Jumping from bump to bump, flying over the lines...he's a man with a mission! He seems obsessed by the black line (normally it are white lines...:-))).

Gonna buy me such a scarf...kinda cool, not?!!

btw: if you click on the link , you should be able to see my "line". Just click on the floppydisk (after continue...).

Go linerider go!

More hyperactivity!

In a previous post I showed you the hyperactive clip of Lasse Gjertsen on YouTube. Here's his latest video. He's a real talent! It will be these kinda guys who we'll be watchting in the near future instead of the linear tv-shows.

Be Hyper!

Keep on Rolling!

How long did this guy take to figure out just how much water to put in the bottles?

It doesn't matter...it just sounds and looks amazing. Must be a hell of of kick to achieve this...it always is...When you have an idea and start working on it, you feel like 100 different reason why it wouldn't work...but when, in the end, it is finished and it works beautifully, you have this sensational feeling.

When was the last time you skipped an idea? Pick it up & do it...NOW! It is worht the effort...

Shaving the "kiwis"

Philips stroke just the right note with this website for male bodygroming. Nothing of that David, "look at me I'm a new man and a wear white shoes", Beckham B.S. Just a guy telling us how to shave our nuts and why...we all want that extra "optical inch", don't we!?!? ;-)

Thanks Fill for the link! Keep shaving...

mish-mash

This clip is a perfect example of a web 2.0 mish-mash. In a brillant way the video shows "old skool" covers of vinyl records in a kinda funky, interactive way. So you take one thing, combine it with something else and add some interaction. That's web 2.0 in a nutshell for you...and it it works, don't you think?

All the big websites like Flickr, YouTube, Google,... offer you the things you want and they let you put their goodies on your website for free. In return you'll have to put up with the Google adsense...but who cares, it's free...and it's not that disturbing.

I also notice some change in behaviour: at work or in the pub conversation at some time always went to "did you see x or y program on television yesterday?". More and more that sentence is replaced by "did you see the clip on YouTube where a couple of guys dance on treadmills?" (they mean this clip
). And these are normal people who say that, not the geeks or the nerds.

Anyway...enjoy the clip! You surely will recognize some marvellous covers of great some great bands...Iron Maiden rocks!

Thanks to Patje for sending me the link! If you want me to analyse something, drop me an e-mail! And take a look at my wiki in the sidebar. I'm still looking for people to write a scenario...hasn't boosted yet...;-)

Have a suppa-duppa weekend!
